SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the
product.
The safety instructions provided in this manual are not intended to cover all possible conditions that

liquids, gases or dust.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION: THIS INFLATOR OPERATES ON DC 12 VOLT AND AC 120 VOLT. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS INFLATOR WITH ANY OTHER SOURCE OR VOLTAGE. DO NOT
REWIRE OR RECONFIGURE INFLATOR FROM ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN OR PERSONAL INJURY
OR BODILY HARM MAY OCCUR.

Note: This unit is equipped with fuse protection. If at some point the inflator fails to
operate when using the 12 volt DC power method, check the fuse in the end of the 12 volt plug.
To replace the fuse, simply unscrew the 12 volt power plug tip, remove existing fuse, install new
fuse and reassemble power plug tip. Use only an AGC – 10 Amp replacement fuse.

PREPARATION
Make sure that your vehicle 12 volt power outlet is free of any ash residue or debris. A dirty
12 volt power outlet can cause the inflator and power cord to overheat. Overheating can
cause damage to your inflator/vehicle and could cause bodily harm or injury. Disconnect
power when not in use.
It is recommended that your vehicle’s 12 volt battery be fully charged to get the best
performance from your inflator. If your vehicle battery is weak, the inflator will not work at
its maximum output level.
DANGER: For best results and more efficient power, it is recommended that you operate
your inflator with your VEHICLE’S ENGINE RUNNING, making absolutely sure you are
outside or in an open, well-ventilated area and NOT INSIDE A CONFINED AREA SUCH
AS A GARAGE as bodily injury or asphyxiation resulting in death could occur. ALWAYS
ALLOW FOR PROPER VENTILATION. Most vehicle 12 volt power outlets will operate
with vehicle ignition off; however, some vehicles require that the ignition be turned on.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Use only a 2-wire extension cord that has a 2-blade plug and a 2-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. For lengths less than 6 feet, No. 18 AWG extension cords should be used. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding.
No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the product. Servicing of a double-insulated product requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to those
parts in the product. A double-insulated product is marked with the words “DOUBLE
INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED. The symbol may also be marked on the
product.
This inflator is designed to inflate car tires, bike tires, ATV tires, sports equipment, air
mattresses, beach toys and other inflatables. Do not use for any purpose other than
inflating. If you do so, bodily harm or personal injury can occur.
CAUTION: Allow inflator to cool down 10 minutes after each 10 minutes of continuous
operation.
After using, turn off power.
The inflator is not a toy. Keep away from children at all times.
Do not carry inflator by the air hose or power cord as damage may occur.
Do not leave the inflator unattended while in operation.
Do not overinflate. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the item you are
inflating.
Keep the inflator away from flammable areas/liquids at all times.
Do not operate the inflator in wet or damp areas.
Operate the inflator only with the attachments that are included.
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty.
This inflator is not designed to fill air tanks or air shocks.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 12 VOLT DC MODE
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERINFLATE ITEM BEING INFLATED.
Place inflator evenly on flat surface.
Insert the 12 Volt DC Power Cord into 12 Volt DC Power Outlet and this will automatically
provide continuous 12 volt current to your inflator.
Connect the Quick Connect Valve Adaptor to item you are inflating and push down the
Valve Lock Lever to secure the connection.
Push the Power Selector Switch in the top left corner of the inflator to the 12 Volt,
position. (Please see Image #1 below).
The Digital Pressure Gauge will display the current pressure of the item you are inflating.
When the LCD readout screen is displaying the current PSI, the LCD readout is static.
Press the ▲ button on the Digital Pressure Gauge to set the desired PSI. The Digital
Pressure Gauge preset range is 3 PSI minimum to 120 PSI maximum. When the LCD
readout screen is displaying the target PSI, the LCD readout will blink 3 times at the
desired preset level and it will then change back to the current PSI level of the item you are
inflating.
Note: If the current pressure of the item you are inflating is greater than the preset level,
the inflator will not turn on.
To turn the inflator on, push the Run/Pause, button. The preset PSI level can be
changed during inflation, simply press the ▲ or ▼buttons to new desired PSI level.
The inflator will shut off automatically at the desired preset PSI level that you have
programmed into the Digital Pressure Gauge.
Note: The inflator has a tolerance of + or – 2 PSI and will automatically shut off
accordingly.
To stop the inflator before it reaches the preset PSI level, push the Run/Pause button. To
resume inflation, simply press the Run/Pause button again.
Note: Disconnecting inflator from 12 Volt DC Power Outlet will clear the previous preset PSI
setting.
